The Chure River Basin (CRB) is a small basin (width 5.75 km, length 9.74 km, perimeter 32.35 km and area 35.23 km2) with three sub-watersheds, and is crossed by the Tribhuvan Highway that may be threatened by riverine and allied processes. The geology and morphometry of the basin were studied to search for status of the basin development andriver dynamism. The Chure River is a sixth order river fed by rainstorm, and has length ratio of 2.79, indicating nearly three times the average length of its fifth order segment, showing notable competency. The mean bifurcation ratio of the Chure River is 3.20, showing immature nature of the CRB. Drainage texture (DT) varies from moderate (0.64–0.96) to very fine (0–0.32). The Chure River is sinuous (K =1.18). The relative relief (RR) is moderately low (15–30) to moderately high (120–240) and dissection index (DI) is moderate (0.2–0.3) to high (0.3–0.4). The CRB carries varied lithology; gravelly to coarse sandy and medium sandy and muddy, from the north to the south extension of the basin. Fine to very fine DT found in large areas because of loosely consolidated and soft lithology. Even where rocks are stiff, the presence of discontinuity has perhaps influenced the DT. Very fine to fine DT coupled with elongate nature of the basin (as indicated by low value of form factor, 0.37) is vulnerable to greater competency of the river during high rainfall. RR slope and DI are found to be high in the cliff- forming lithology (stiff and well cemented), and low in other areas. High dissection, high slopes and high relief show active and immature nature of the CRB, indicating susceptibility of further incision of the Siwalik Hills and aggravation of erosion and slope movements by the immature rivers in the CRB. Presence of knick points along the river profile reflects affinity of the river to incision. The sinuosity, radius of curvature, and bifurcation ratio, all indicate immaturity of the basin. The hypsometric analysis indicates inverse relationship between the elevation and the cumulative %area, showing active erosional condition of the basin.

Chure河流域(CRB)是一个小流域(宽度5.75公里,长度9.74公里,周长32.35公里,面积35.23平方公里),有三个子流域,特里布万高速公路穿过,可能受到河流和相关过程的威胁。研究了该盆地的地质和地貌特征,探讨了该盆地的发育状况和河流动力。楚尔河为暴雨哺育的6级河流,其长度比为2.79,是5级河段平均长度的近3倍,表现出显著的能力。Chure河的平均分岔比为3.20,显示出CRB的不成熟性质。排水质地(DT)从中等(0.64-0.96)到非常细(0-0.32)不等。楚尔河是弯曲的(K =1.18)。相对缓解度(RR)中低(15 ~ 30)~中高(120 ~ 240),夹层指数(DI)中高(0.2 ~ 0.3)~ 0.3。CRB具有多种岩性;砂质到粗砂质和中砂质及泥质,盆地自北向南延伸。由于松散固结和软岩性,在大面积发现细至极细的DT。即使在岩石坚硬的地方,不连续的存在也可能影响到DT。非常细到细的DT加上盆地的细长性质(如形状因子的低值0.37所示)在高降雨期间容易受到河流更大的能力的影响。在岩壁形成岩性(坚硬且胶结良好)中,RR坡度和DI较高,其他地区坡度较低。高剖分、高坡度、高起伏表现出CRB的活动性和未成熟性,表明CRB内未成熟河流对siwalick Hills的进一步切割和对侵蚀、坡移的加剧具有敏感性。沿河流剖面出现切口点反映了河流对切口的亲和力。曲度、曲率半径、分岔比等特征均表明盆地发育不成熟。拟合分析表明,高程与累积面积呈反比关系,表明盆地处于活跃的侵蚀状态。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bdg.v15i0.7416地质部门公报,2012年第15卷,第35-48页

The rivers of the Kathmandu Basin are vulnerable to flash floods and disturbances caused by anthropogenic as well as climatic changes. Two southern tributaries of the Bagmati River: the Kodku and the Godavari Rivers, have been considered for their (i) watershed-scale geomorphic parameters such as relative relief, drainage texture and stream order, (ii) stretchscale planform parameters such as sinuosity (K), meander belt width (W blt ), meander wavelength (L m ) and radius of curvature (R c ), and (ii) longitudinal profiles and slopes. Both Kodku and the Godavari Rivers are elongate basins with wide ranges of the watershed-scale parameters. The Godavari River is longer, larger and more sinuous compared to the Kodku River. The development of the patterns of the fifth order main stem stretches of both rivers with respect to the stream slopes, and asymmetric patterns of the meander loops indicate anomalous growth of the river stretches.

Detailed geological mapping was carried out in the Bandipur-Gondrang area of Tanahun district to clarify the geological set up and stratigraphy of the area. Wherever possible, geological mapping is based on stratigraphic units proposed by Stocklin and Bhattarai (1977) in central Nepal and the present mapping is the west ward continuation from Mugling-Banspani area (Paudyal and Paudel, 2011). The study area comprises low grade metasedimentary rocks of Nawakot Complex. The rock succession of the area are divided into six formations as the Kunchha Formation, the Fagfog Quartzite, the Dandagaon Phyllite, the Nourpul Formation with four members, the Dhading Dolomite and the Benighat Slates in stratigraphic upwards. The former four formations belong to Upper Nawakot Group and the remaining one belongs to the Lower Nawakot Group of Nawakot Complex (Stocklin and Bhattarai, 1977). Based on lithology, the Nourpul Formation is divided into the Purebensi Quartzite, the Amdanda Phyllite, the Labdi Khola Member and the Bandipur Slate from bottom to top respectively. The Purebensi Quartzite is lithologically distinct in the field; the Labdi Khola Member is significant with copper and iron mineralization in the area, and the Bandipur Slate is also significant with roofing quality slate, however, the Amdanda Phyllite is mapped as an intervening member between significant lithologies. The rocks of the present study area consist of several sedimentary structures like mud cracks, ripple marks, graded bedding and cross and parallel laminations. A broad Ghumaune- Gondran Synclinorium is mapped in the area. In addition to this, several anticlines and synclines are also mapped in the study area. Jalbhanjyang Thrust has brought the older metasedimentary rocks of the Nawakot Complex over the younger rocks of the same Complex. Some corrections are recommended over the distribution of previously shown lithological units by Stocklin and Bhattarai (1977) around the Ghumaune-Bhut Khola section.

在塔纳浑地区班迪普尔-贡令地区进行了详细的地质填图,明确了该地区的地质构造和地层。在可能的情况下,地质填图是基于Stocklin和Bhattarai(1977)在尼泊尔中部提出的地层单位,目前的填图是从Mugling-Banspani地区向西延伸的(Paudyal和Paudel, 2011)。研究区为纳瓦戈特杂岩低品位变质沉积岩。该区岩石演替可划分为昆恰组、法格格石英岩、丹达岗千层岩、努尔普尔组(四段)、达定白云岩和贝尼加特板岩6组。前4组属于上纳瓦科特群,其余1组属于纳瓦科特复合体的下纳瓦科特群(Stocklin and Bhattarai, 1977)。根据岩性,诺普尔组从下至上依次为Purebensi石英岩、Amdanda千层岩、Labdi Khola段和banddipur板岩。Purebensi石英岩在野外具有明显的岩性特征;Labdi Khola段具有重要的铜和铁成矿作用,banddipur板岩也具有重要的屋顶质板岩,而Amdanda千层岩被定位为重要岩性之间的中间段。研究区岩石由泥裂、纹痕、级配层理、交错层理和平行层理等沉积构造组成。在该地区绘制了一个广泛的古曼-冈德拉向斜区。此外,研究区内还发现了若干背斜和向斜。Jalbhanjyang逆冲将Nawakot杂岩中较老的变质沉积岩带到了同一杂岩中较年轻的岩石上。对于Stocklin和Bhattarai(1977)先前在Ghumaune-Bhut Khola剖面周围显示的岩性单元分布,建议进行一些修正。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bdg.v15i0.7417地质部门公报,2012年第15卷,第49-62页

A geological mapping was carried out and the rock mass characteristics of the Lesser Himalayan rocks distributed in the Dhulikhel-Panchkhal area (Kavre Distric) were studied along with their physical and mechanical properties. The lithological units distributed in the study area belong to the Benighat Slate of the Upper Nawakot Group and the Bhimphedi Group as separated by the Chak-Rosi Thrust. The lithological units strike NW-SE and dip southwards forming the eastern closure of part of the northern limb of the Mahabharat synclinorium. The area comprises mainly micaceous quartzite, psammitic schist, metasandstone and metasiltstone. Micaceous quartzite is a rock type of the Kalitar Formation, Chisapani quartzite and the Markhu Formation. The Markhu quartzite is slightly calcareous. Psammitic schist is a rock type of the Kulekhani Formation and the Markhu Formation. Metasandstone and metasiltstone are the rock types of the Tistung Formation. The rock masses consist mainly of three to four major joint sets including the joint parallel to foliation. The discontinuity characteristics indicate that the rocks are blocky in nature, and nearly smooth to rough surface with soft filling aperture. The rock mass is nearly fresh, indurated and stiff. The slopes are influenced by stable and unstable wedges, plane and toppling failures. The rock masses are classified into fair to good rock classes according to rock mass rating system.

Morphology and classification of the main stem Bagmati River, Central Nepal 尼泊尔中部巴格玛提河干流的形态和分类
Pub Date : 2013-01-21 DOI: 10.3126/BDG.V15I0.7415

Rivers are significant geomorphic agents which can carry huge amounts of sediments and water from their catchments to depositional basins. Due course of flow they can bring various hazards such as flooding, inundation of flood plains, erosion of banks and trigger various slope movements. To understand nature and behavior of the Bagmati River, which is a perennial, storm and spring-fed, eight order river of central Nepal, the planiform morphological parameters of this river were analysed and river segments along the main stem stretches were classified into various stream-types, using topographic maps, aerial photographs, and satellite imageries. The Bagmati River is an 8th order perennial river. The Bagmati River basin comprises 39 sub-basins of 4th order and higher. The averages of meander wavelengths (L m ), meander belt width (W blt ), radius of curvature (R c ) and sinuosity (K) of the 7th order main stem Bagmati River are 598.27 m, 164.07 m, 252.35 m and 1.38, respectively. Similarly, the averages of L m , W blt , R c , and K of the 8th order main stem rivers are respectively, 496.77, 126.58 m, 286.13 m, and 1.55. All these parameters reflect fluctuating trends of variation along the downstream stretch. However, the portion of the 7th order river shows abrupt increase of Lm after the Bagmati River crosses the Main Boundary Thrust. The Rc also indicates slight increase in this region. The sinuosity reflects overall increase from the 7th to the 8th order rivers. This increase in sinuosity is attributed to the decrease in slope and competency of the river. There exists a moderate degree of correlation between K and W blt showing that the W blt of the Bagmati River tends to increase as the sinuosity increases. The stream segments of the Bagmati River fall on A-, B-, C-, G- and D-type rivers. All the segments of the Bagmati River, lying within the Kathmandu Valley and having substrate of the fluvio-lacustrine valley-fill sediments, fall on C-type stream because of low entrenchment and high width/depth ratio. Similarly, A-type streams are developed at segments which flow through the Tistung Formation of the granite terrain of the Lesser Himalaya most probably due to entrenched and gorged valley and high slope. Likewise, B- and G-type streams are developed in terrains of the Lesser Himalaya and the Sub-Himalaya. The B-type streams are moderately entrenched with sinuous to meandering and wide channels. The D-type stream segment which is a multi-thread channel is characteristically developed within the terrain of the Sub-Himalaya presumably due to the change in slope caused by thrusting, and greater input of sediments from the Siwaliks in relation to weak and loosely consolidated lithology.

河流是重要的地貌因素,它可以将大量的沉积物和水从集水区带到沉积盆地。随着水流的推移,它们会带来各种危险,如洪水,淹没洪泛平原,侵蚀河岸,并引发各种斜坡运动。巴格玛蒂河是尼泊尔中部的一条多年性、风暴和泉水形成的八阶河流,为了了解其性质和行为,我们利用地形图、航空照片和卫星图像,分析了这条河流的平面形态参数,并将主要干流延绵的河段划分为不同的河流类型。巴格马蒂河是一条8级多年生河流。巴格玛提河流域由39个四级及以上的子流域组成。七阶干流Bagmati河的曲流波长(L m)、曲流带宽度(W blt)、曲率半径(R c)和弯曲度(K)的平均值分别为598.27 m、164.07 m、252.35 m和1.38 m。8级干流的平均水深分别为496.77、126.58 m、286.13 m和1.55 m。这些参数都反映了下游河段变化的波动趋势。而在巴格马提河越过主边界冲断后,7级河段Lm陡增。Rc也表明这一区域有轻微的增加。曲度反映了从7级到8级河流的总体增加。曲度的增加是由于河流坡度和流速的降低。K与W blt之间存在中等程度的相关关系,表明随着弯度的增大,巴格马提河的W blt有增大的趋势。巴格马蒂河的支流分为A型、B型、C型、G型和d型河流。巴格马蒂河的所有河段都位于加德满都谷地内,其基底为河流-湖泊河谷填充沉积物,由于壕沟低,宽/深比高,因此属于c型河流。同样,a型河流在流经小喜马拉雅花岗岩地形tisting组的区段发育,这很可能是由于山谷和高坡的盘根和峡谷。小喜马拉雅和次喜马拉雅地区也发育B型和g型河流。b型河流盘踞适中,河道蜿蜒至曲流,河道宽阔。d型河流段是一种多线河道,在亚喜马拉雅地形内发育,可能是由于逆冲作用引起的坡度变化,以及较弱和松散固结岩性导致的Siwaliks沉积物的大量输入。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bdg.v15i0.7415地质部门公报,2012年第15卷,第23-34页
{"title":"Morphology and classification of the main stem Bagmati River, Central Nepal","authors":"P. Shrestha, N. Tamrakar","doi":"10.3126/BDG.V15I0.7415","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3126/BDG.V15I0.7415","url":null,"abstract":"Rivers are significant geomorphic agents which can carry huge amounts of sediments and water from their catchments to depositional basins. Due course of flow they can bring various hazards such as flooding, inundation of flood plains, erosion of banks and trigger various slope movements. To understand nature and behavior of the Bagmati River, which is a perennial, storm and spring-fed, eight order river of central Nepal, the planiform morphological parameters of this river were analysed and river segments along the main stem stretches were classified into various stream-types, using topographic maps, aerial photographs, and satellite imageries. The Bagmati River is an 8th order perennial river. The Bagmati River basin comprises 39 sub-basins of 4th order and higher. The averages of meander wavelengths (L m ), meander belt width (W blt ), radius of curvature (R c ) and sinuosity (K) of the 7th order main stem Bagmati River are 598.27 m, 164.07 m, 252.35 m and 1.38, respectively. Similarly, the averages of L m , W blt , R c , and K of the 8th order main stem rivers are respectively, 496.77, 126.58 m, 286.13 m, and 1.55. All these parameters reflect fluctuating trends of variation along the downstream stretch. However, the portion of the 7th order river shows abrupt increase of Lm after the Bagmati River crosses the Main Boundary Thrust. The Rc also indicates slight increase in this region. The sinuosity reflects overall increase from the 7th to the 8th order rivers. This increase in sinuosity is attributed to the decrease in slope and competency of the river. There exists a moderate degree of correlation between K and W blt showing that the W blt of the Bagmati River tends to increase as the sinuosity increases. The stream segments of the Bagmati River fall on A-, B-, C-, G- and D-type rivers. All the segments of the Bagmati River, lying within the Kathmandu Valley and having substrate of the fluvio-lacustrine valley-fill sediments, fall on C-type stream because of low entrenchment and high width/depth ratio. Similarly, A-type streams are developed at segments which flow through the Tistung Formation of the granite terrain of the Lesser Himalaya most probably due to entrenched and gorged valley and high slope. Likewise, B- and G-type streams are developed in terrains of the Lesser Himalaya and the Sub-Himalaya. The B-type streams are moderately entrenched with sinuous to meandering and wide channels. The D-type stream segment which is a multi-thread channel is characteristically developed within the terrain of the Sub-Himalaya presumably due to the change in slope caused by thrusting, and greater input of sediments from the Siwaliks in relation to weak and loosely consolidated lithology.

The Bhainskati Formation of the Tansen Group in the Palpa area is known for hematite iron ore deposit for long time. A prominent band of hematite of about 1-2 m thickness and extending >5 km was identified in the upper part of the Bhainskati Formation in the present study. The band is repeated three times in the area by folding and faulting. Petrographic study shows that it is oolitic ironstone of sedimentary origin. Main minerals in the band are hematite, goethite, quartz, calcite, siderite and albite. Hematite content varies considerably among samples and occurs mainly as oolite and cement. The Bhainskati ironstone with its ferrous mineral assemblage and well-rounded texture of the ooids suggests shallow marine environment (prodeltaic to estuarine) with reduced clastic input.

Construction material assessment is the crucial part of the hydroelectric power projects. The quality and quantity of the construction materialis the major concern when exploring construction material. Four quarry sites (Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4) were identified and assessed for both quantityand quality. Distribution of rock quarry sites was taken for quantitative assessment of reserves. The rock samples were obtained from the sitesand were analysed for physical, mechanical and petrographic features. Rock types in quarry sites were schistose marble (in Q1), augen gneiss(in Q2), and banded gneisses (in Q3 and Q4). The analytical results showed that water absorption values were < 1% in all the samples, but wasthe highest in Q2 (0.92%). Contrarily, Q2 possessed the least specific gravity among the samples. Sodium sulphate soundness values rangedfrom 0.21 to 0.77, which was the highest in Q2. Samples Q1, Q3 and Q4 yielded Los Angeles Abrasion value below 45%, whereas Q2 gave57.5%. Similarly, Q2 also yielded the least value (1.82 MPa) of point-load strength index tested along the foliation. Augen gneiss (Q2) showedthe low abrasion resistance and soundness to freeze and thaw because of weak bonding between platy and other constituents of the rock , whereasschistose marble and banded gneisses yielded better resistance to abrasion and freeze and thaw, and possessed better strength perhaps due towell bonding among the mineralogical constituents due to the presence of appreciable amount of carbonate minerals.

施工材料评价是水电工程施工的关键环节。建筑材料的质量和数量是探索建筑材料的主要问题。确定了四个采石场(Q1、Q2、Q3和Q4),并对其数量和质量进行了评估。采用采石场分布对储量进行定量评价。岩石样本是从这些地点获得的,并进行了物理、机械和岩石学特征的分析。采石场岩石类型为片岩大理岩(Q1)、长片麻岩(Q2)和带状片麻岩(Q3和Q4)。分析结果表明,所有样品的吸水率均< 1%,但Q2吸水率最高(0.92%)。相反,Q2在样品中具有最小的比重。硫酸钠稳健性值在0.21 ~ 0.77之间,Q2最高。样品Q1, Q3和Q4的洛杉矶磨损值低于45%,而Q2给出57.5%。同样,Q2也产生了最小的点载荷强度指数(1.82 MPa)。奥根片麻岩(Q2)的耐磨性和冻融性较低,主要是由于板状和其他成分之间的结合较弱,而片麻岩和带状片麻岩的耐磨性和冻融性较好,其强度也较好,可能是由于矿物成分之间的毛巾性结合,这可能是由于大量碳酸盐矿物的存在。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bdg.v14i0.5442地质部门公报,2011年第14卷,第77-82页

Petrological study and X-ray diffraction analysis were carried out to identify the content and quality of graphitic material inthe carbonaceous schist from the Main Central Thrust zone in the Kali Gandaki valley, west Nepal. The study shows that thecarbonaceous schists contain more than 15-30% graphite. They contain both amorphous and flake graphite with variable grainsize. As graphite is being mined commercially in rocks containing even <5% graphite worldwide, carbonaceous rocks of the MainCentral Thrust zone can be a potential sources of commercial graphite in Nepal.

通过岩石学研究和x射线衍射分析,确定了尼泊尔西部Kali Gandaki山谷主要中央逆冲带碳质片岩中石墨物质的含量和质量。研究表明,碳质片岩中石墨含量在15 ~ 30%以上。它们含有不同粒度的非晶石墨和片状石墨。由于在世界范围内,石墨含量甚至低于5%的岩石中都可以进行商业开采,因此中央冲断带的碳质岩石可能是尼泊尔商业石墨的潜在来源。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bdg.v14i0.5431地质部门公报,2011年第14卷,第9-14页

Palynological investigation of ten samples obtained from a drill core belonging to the Late Pleistocene deposits of the PatanFormation in the Kathmandu Valley revealed 40 plant species belonging to 22 families. The gymnosperms are represented byAbies, Picea, Pinus spp. (P. roxburghii and P. wallichiana) and Tsuga sp. The angiosperm tree and shrubs are represented bygenera Quercus (Q. semecarpifolia, Q. lanata, Q. leucotricophora and Q. lamellosa and Q. glauca), Castanopsis, Alnus, Betula,Carpinus, Juglans, Myrica, Ulmus, Ilex, Strobilanthes, Elaeagnus and families Meliaceae, Oleaceae, Ericaceae, Poaceae,Compositae, Caryophyllaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Apiaceae, and Dipsacaceae. Similarly the wetland and aquatic plants arerepresented by Polygonun, Myriophyllum and Trapa. The presence of significant number of pteridophytes indicates humid anddamp environment at the periphery of the lake and surrounding forest floor. The pollen assemblage suggests that the PatanFormation was deposited under humid subtropical climate except at the middle part which indicates of warm temperate climaticcondition. The result obtained from the recent surface samples analysis and its comparison with fossil assemblages show thatmodern pollen spectra are not different with the fossil assemblages. This justifies that the fossil palynomorphs are local and itdenies the influence of exotic pollen.

Geological study was carried out along the Pasang Lahmu Highway from Kathmandu to Trishuli Bazaar covering both theLesser Himalayan autochthonous unit and the Kathmandu Nappe. The Lesser Himalayan rocks in the study area belong to theKunchha Formation, Benighat Slate and the Robang Formation of the Nawakot Complex. The Kathmandu Nappe (KathmanduComplex) comprises the Kalitar Formation, Gneiss Zone, Tistung Formation, Sopyang Formation and the Chandragiri Limestone.Petrographic study was carried out in the samples representing all the lithological units along the Pasang-Lahmu Highway.The study shows that the Kunchha Formation belongs to the biotite zone. The overlying units (Benighat Slate and RobangFormations) belong to the garnet zone. It is a clear evidence of inverted metamorphic zonation at the foot wall of the KathmanduNappe. The rocks of the Kathmandu Complex above the Mahabharat Thrust north of Kakani also show an inverse metamorphiczonation, i.e., the garnet zone is overlain by the sillimanite zone. However, in the southern part, the metamorphic zonation isnormal with biotite zone overlain by the chlorite zone. Although the inverted metamorphic zonation at the hanging wall of theMahabharat Thrust may be related to the high temperature contact metamorphism by pegmatite injection, the inverted metamorphismat the footwall needs an explanation.

沿着从加德满都到Trishuli Bazaar的Pasang Lahmu高速公路进行了地质研究,涵盖了小喜马拉雅原生单元和加德满都推覆体。研究区内的小喜马拉雅岩石属于纳瓦科特杂岩的kunchha组、Benighat板岩和Robang组。加德满都推覆体(加德满都复合体)由卡里塔尔组、片麻岩带、提斯顿组、索阳组和Chandragiri灰岩组成。对巴桑-拉木公路沿线所有岩性单元的样品进行了岩石学研究。研究表明,昆车组属于黑云母带。上覆单元(贝奈特板岩组和罗邦组)属于石榴石带。这是加德满都-杜纳普山脚壁逆变质带的明显证据。在Kakani以北的Mahabharat逆冲上的加德满都杂岩也表现出逆变质作用,即石榴石带被硅线石带覆盖。而在南部,变质带是正常的,黑云母带被绿泥石带覆盖。虽然上盘的逆变质带可能与伟晶岩注入的高温接触变质作用有关,但下盘的逆变质作用需要解释。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bdg.v14i0.5439地质部门公报,2011年第14卷,第51-58页
